Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Ruled Out for Friday's Game vs. Blues

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will miss Friday's contest against the St. Louis Blues due to an undisclosed injury. The center logged 17:32 of ice time in Thursday's game against the Stars, making the timing of the injury unclear. With Nugent-Hopkins sidelined, Max Jones will enter the lineup, and Matt Savoie is expected to see an increase in usage. Nugent-Hopkins' next opportunity to return to the ice is Sunday's home matchup against the Nashville Predators.
